Contemporary Issuess

Accepting payment for Haram products


I work in a petrol pump in Australia.  There is a shop also there.  My job is to accept payment for products which customers take.  Some of those products are forbidden.  Are my earnings Halal?

If you accept payment for petrol and other Halal products, then there is no problem at all and your earnings are absolutely Halal.  If you can talk to the management about the forbidden products and make some arrangement wherein you are not concerned at all with sale of the forbidden products, then these earnings are Halal for you.  However, if you have no chance of escaping being involved in the sale/payment acceptance of the forbidden products, then this is impermissible.  You please search for some other Halal job.  Allah Ta’ala is the One who provides sustenance.

And Allah knows best.
